To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AARON BLOCH, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp-Shade Holders, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. i

This invention relates to shade holders for lamps, and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which may be applied to lamps or illuminating burners of various kinds and classes, including oil burners, gas burners and electric light bulbs; a further object being to provide a device of the class specified which is simple in construction, eificient in use and comparatively inexpensive.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a sectional side view showing my improved shade holder applied to an ordinary gas lamp;

Fig. 2 a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 a sectional detail view of one part of my improved holder;

Fig. 4 a side view of a modified form of my improved shade holder designed for use in connection with an electric bulb lamp; and,

Fig. '5 a section on the line 55 of Fig. 4.

In the practice of my invention, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, I provide a shade holder comprising three upright arm members a which are L-shaped in form and the shorter arms a of which are provided with flat shanks a a provided at their ends a and the parts a and a apertures a and a.

with radial jaws are provided with In forming the complete holder, three of the parts a are placed together as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and rivet pins or similar devices I) are passed through the apertures a and a of the separate parts and headed as shown in Fig. 2, and this forms a ring shaped central base member 0 which may be passed down over a burner t1p or gas nozzle, or the base of a burner of any kind or class, as indicated in Fig. 1.

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing having arc-shaped portions On the tops of arms a, or secured to the tops of said arms in an annular cap, or

In the construction shown the arms a are riveted to the base of the cap or shade holder cl as shown at d, but this connection may be made in any desired mamler.

The arms or parts a are composed of, or formed from, a light rod or heavy wire and in Figs. 4L and 5, I have shown a modification which is particularly designed for use in connection with electric bulb lamps, and which is the same in all respects as the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, except that only two of the arms a are employed, and the upper end portions of these arms are made longer and curved as shown at a and the tops of these arms may be connected in any desired manner, my inven- Patented May 7, 1918.-

tion relating only to the base construction shown by which connection is made with the burner or burners.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

2. A lamp shade holder composed of se a rate parts provided at one end with attened shanks having arc-shaped extensions provided at their ends with fiat radial jaws, said shanks and jaws being secured together to form a circular head. v

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of the subscribing witnesses this 8th day of January, 1918.
